Restore SSA?

[gerardjohnson]

I have a 1918 SSA Lee Enfield Mk III* that has been sporterized that I would like to restore, but I have never seen full wood forestocks for sale anywhere. The front metal is probably available somewhere but where does one find the wood?

Kinda hit and miss in my experience but some of these places have the wood.

you can get most off the parts you need from numerich gun parts or liberty tree collectors, i have 3 SSA rifles a 1916 ,17 18 two were sporters ,i returned them to their former glorey. I got all my parts from numerich gun parts although they didnt have the front hand gard had that come from liberty tree collectors, was a bit expansive but the wood was real nice.Hope this helpes

Will they do up to $200 now? Their site says only $100. Too bad if that's the limit, they have some nice stuff, I'd like to spend some there!

Most places in the states can do up to $500.00 now.
